How to connect to a powerpoint projector

I've created my first presentation in Keynote and tried to show it from my laptop. The projector did not recognize my computer. I exported the Keynote file into powerpoint but the projector still did not recognize the computer. The projector had several ways to connect to my MacBook but only one of them could connect at both ends. It was a cable with a USB connector on one end and a small metal connector on the other end which fit into a spot n the projector. But nothing happened.
I finally put the pp presentation on a flash drive and borrowed someone's PC. That worked. But I'd prefer to use my MacBook. Any advice?

Macmost now has tutorials on this subject - which are always great http://macmost.com/keynote-presenter-display.html
Also tutorial on mac - see below.

  • How to connect lumia 1020 to projector

    hi! somebody knows how to connect lumia 1020 to projector??? maybe exists any programs for it? i want to make a presentation in a real time direct from my phone Lumia 1020!
    Thanks in advance

    The Lumia 1020 does not support tv or video out via cable. You can play media stored on the phone via wifi to a DLNA enabled player. This won't work for Powerpoint.
    A possible workaround is to use the Nokia Beamer app to share whatever appears on your phones display to an internet connected tv or display.

  • How to connect Apple TV to projector and home theater system?

    I have an Optoma HD20 projector that I have a long hdmi cable connected to and plugged that into my Apple TV. I also have an older home theater system that does not have an optical audio input. So I bought an adapter to go from optical audio to RCA cables. When I get it all plugged in and turned on I can't even get the video on my screen. What am I missing?
    This is the adapter...

    Darn. Ok. Then do you have any suggestions for other options to connect the two? My projector is mounted to the middle of the ceiling with a whole for the wires that go along inside the ceiling to the other side of the room.

  • How to connect Apple TV to Projector with no HDMI

    I have a projector with S-video, rca, and vga connections but no HDMI.  I would like to get an apple tv and use airplay with my ipad 2.  Are there hdmi to rca or vga converters that will work well with Apple TV.  I've searched different things but it's just confusing me.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projectoe which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p or 480p.

  • How to connect S5000 tablet to projector with HDMI input?

    Is S5000 tablet possible to connect to projector with HDMI input. I tried the adapter micro USB to HDMI but the projector can't detect the tablet. Is there a settings in the tablet?

    Well not had time to really play about, but I thought that miracast was based on widi and I was wondering if the software update would upgrade the widi version number.
    Funny thing is that they can see each other and I'm allowed to input the auth code but it seems as if it tmes out on trying to establish a connection.
    Could my router be preventing the connection? There doesn't seem to be many config on the TV or tablet on set up.

    What Mac do you have?
    For most, you are going to need some sort of adaptor. This could be a Mini DisplayPort to DVI or MiniDisplay Port to VGA, depending on what input the projector supports.

  • How to connect my ipad to a beamer?

    How to connect my ipad to a beamer?

    Beamers
    "Beamer" is a word used in European countries that is synonymous with "projector." A European beamer has the same standard equipment and serves the same purposes as an American projector.
    Difference
    There is no difference between a beamer and a multimedia projector, except for their names. Of course, there are differences between the functions and capabilities of all projectors, but those differences are determined by brand and style.

  • How do I disconnect a Powerpoint presentation from a Captivate .cp?

    I am a new user to captivate. I am using Captivate 4. I imported a powerpoint presentation into my captivate slides. I am not sure what I did, but the presentation is connected across my captivate presentations. For example: While practicing I created four presentations. If I edit a .ppt slide in one captivate, the slide edits in the other three. How do I disconnect the powerpoint slides from the captivates?
    Also, I have tried to import a new .ppt into a captivate and captivate will only open the old .ppt, even though I am pointing to the new one. Why is that?
    Thank you,
    Condopoe

    You may need to change the linkage to the PowerPoint file so that it becomes embedded instead of linked.
    Here are the instructions from the Help:
    Change link type after importing the presentation
    Open the Adobe Captivate project in Edit mode and navigate to a slide that was imported from the PowerPoint presentation.
    Click Edit PPT and select Find Presentation In Library. When you select this option, the PowerPoint presentation containing the slide is highlighted in the library.
    In the Library panel, right-click the presentation in the Presentation folder.
    Do one of the following:
    Select Change To Linked if you have not linked to (embedded) the presentation during import. Specify a location for the linked file on your computer.
    Select Change To Embedded to embed the linked file into your project.
    Here is the screenshot:

    HOW TO CONNECT TO A FRIEND WHO IS USING APPLE NOTEBOOK FROM MY IMAC SUGGEST ME WAITING FOR A SOLUTION FROM APPLE TEAM SUPPORT

    Hi,
    Typing in all upper case is regarded and shouting here.
    Presumably as you have posted in the OS X 10.7.x (Lion) area you are running this version of the OS on your iMac.
    This will have iChat 6 on it.
    This can use AIM, Jabber and Yahoo IDs within the app.
    Apple IDS ending in @mac.com and iCloud issued @me.com and @icloud.com are also Valid AIM Screen Names.
    If you use Googlemail and Enable "talk" in the products there you can then use your Google Mail ID as a Jabber ID (although it has it's own Add Account option in iChat)
    Facebook has an option to Enable "Chat" which will give you a Chat ID variant on your name there and this can be used in iChat (or Messages) as a Jabber ID.
    The Yahoo Account will only do Text chats.
    It also has to be an actual ID registered at Yahoo.
    Chats are then AIM to AIM or Jabber to Jabber or Yahoo to Yahoo.
    So your Buddy will also need a suitable ID or Screen Name  for the relevant service.

  • How to connect sound or audio to my tv using hdmi adapter. I tried to connect thru sound settings but my tv is not found.

    how to connect sound to my tv set using hdmi adapter. Im using 2009 macbook pro 13". I went to sound settings then output and it shows internal speaker built- in, it wont locate my tv set. pls. help, thanks

    You probably can't because it looks like your MacBook Pro is too old to carry audio over HDMI. You will need to run a separate audio cable from the audio out port on the MacBook Pro to the audio in port on the TV.
    Check your MacBook Pro model year against the list in this Apple tech note:
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    Learn about the Mini DisplayPort in the latest Mac models that enables audio and video output for DisplayPort and HDMI.

  • I need to know how to connect my macbook to the tv

    I ordered the mini dvi adapter for my macbook 13in and obviously it connects to the computer but i have no idea how it connects to the tv. Where does it go? and do i need something else to help connect it to the tv? I am really confused please help.

    Yep, Apple makes adaptors to go from the mini DVI on the macbook to almost any type of input that you TV will have. First check the back of your tube to find out what kind of input it has, and order the appropriate adaptor.

  • How to connect a Sony Bravia TV to the internet through your Airport network

    Since it took me a lot of time to figure out how to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the internet through my Airport network, I better share how to do it. Hopefully saving others a lot of time.
    My 32EX600 Sony Bravia TV is Ethernet connected to my Mac Mini, which is part of my Airport network, together with another Mac, an Airport Extreme Base Station and an ADSL modem/router. Moreover, the Mac Mini is connected to the TV by HDMI.
    Whatever I tried in the TV’s Wired Network Set-up (Auto, or Manual with manual IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS IPs), I couldn’t get it right. Cable Connection and Local Access were mostly OK, Internet Access always Failed.
    The solution lies in the Sharing panel of the System Preferences of the Mac Mini. In the Internet Sharing item of that panel, you should choose to “share your internet connection from WiFi to computers (the TV in this case) using Ethernet“, and NOT (as I had chosen before and seemed so obvious) “share your internet connection from Airport to computers using Ethernet“. After that change, the Bravia Network Set-up, using the Wired and Auto options, flawlessly connected to the internet. No expensive (Sony) WiFi USB dongle needed.

    I have now had a detailed reply from Sony Europe and the way to do this is to:
    1.       Press Home on the TV Setup
    2.       Use the right and left arrow to select Setting.
    3.       Use the up and down to select Network, press Enter.
    4.       Select Network Setup.
    5.       Select Wireless setup.
    6.       Select Scan
    7.       Select your network
    8.       A new screen will appear asking for entering the security key.
    9.       Enter your WPA2 key.
    10.   Select Enter.
    11.   It will take you back to the same screen asking for entering the
    security key.
    12.   Press the right arrow.
    13.   Select Auto.
    14.   Press the right arrow.
    15.   Select Save and connect.
    These instructions are not the same as shown on the TV but they worked fine for me so they may help others with a similar problem.
